slideshow: picture frame + desktop
Hello plasma developers, I am pleased to report how I am currently using the slideshow feature of the picture frame applet (also desktop background) to display updated graphical information. Here, I continuously monitor the traffic congestion in the Paris region, (such a MacOS dashboard widget exists) but one could use a similar scheme to monitor information from other sources including webcam images, etc. To do so, I run a shell script using cron that periodically updates images in a directory that is then asynchronously displayed on my plasma desktop. This solution may seem obvious; maybe a much more clever solution exits, or perhaps this may give further ideas for widget use...

2008/10/3, Aaron J. Seigo [EMAIL PROTECTED]: hrm; not to my knowledge but i could be wrong. what's the crash you get? Attached is the backtrace. It occurs only on plasma startup i.e. if you select Mandelbrot it works fine for the duration of your session but on next login it crashes. I assume it's my own Mandelbrot's fault but I can't see why it crashes, except if waiting for a waiting thread is illegal.

Another possibility: is it illegal to wait for a QThread that was just constructed but not yet started? I.e. thread = new MyThreadClass(); wait(thread); OK, i don't distract this thread (no pun intended) more with offtopic questions.

I was trying to do something cool using a spinbox, but I need to do more hacking on it If I want to get a good result. * think about whether we actually want two separate classes, or if we should merge the two into one and have some methods to control whether or not the top navigation gets created/shown I'll maintain anyway a private class in that case, splitting the calendar in 2 classes make things simplier... also, what's that fancy spinbox thing referenced in the code? =) xD see the answer to year jumps? ability to in-line edit the year/month? monday I'll start to fix everything. :) Have a nice weekend.

2008/10/2 Aaron J. Seigo [EMAIL PROTECTED] broken debugapplet - really cool idea; needs kdelibs patches commited, lots of problems in the applet itself Sorry about that. I don't have enough time to keep it working. And I think using dbus is not ideal.
